Definitions

  • the invention relates to a radio system, which comprises a plurality of transceivers that are arranged to communicate with each other by using a plurality of predetermined radio frequency channels.
  • the invention relates to a system in which a maximum value is determined for the amount of interference caused to adjacent frequency channels by the transceiver frequency channel.
  • the signal to be transmitted must in general be modulated for transmission on a transmission channel.
  • digital modulation methods are applied, by means of which the desired signal is transmitted on an allocated frequency channel.
  • Digital modulation methods whose envelope is not constant are often employed.
  • adjacent channel interference interference
  • This interference is thus mainly due to nonlinearity of the transmitter.
  • the nonlinearity of the transmitter is closely related to the efficiency of the terminal amplifier of the transmitter. Linear amplifiers cause little interference to adjacent frequency channels, but their efficiency is poor. More nonlinear amplifiers cause more interference, whereas the efficiency is better.
  • a maximum value is in general determined for the amount of interference caused to the adjacent channels by transmitters, the purpose of which value is to enable the simultaneous use of adjacent channels for telecommunications without excessive interference.
  • the maximum value is generally determined by simulations at the planning stage of the system. By simulating traffic on different channels and by measuring interchannel interference and transmission errors resulting therefrom, an acceptable maximum value of interference is determined.
  • the maximum value of adjacent channel interference is determined to be the same within the whole system. On the basis of simulations, the value which gives a satisfactory result in the whole system, is selected.
  • this method has several drawbacks. Since the whole system employs one interference value, the value has to be selected on the basis of the channel that is the most sensitive to interference. So on all frequency channels, transmitters must meet the same requirement. Consequently, in practice amplifiers that are linear but poor in efficiency must be used on all frequency channels. This causes problems, for instance power consumption of mobile telephones is high due to inefficient amplifiers.
  • the present invention aims to provide a method and a system to mitigate the above-mentioned problems. Accordingly, a transmission method is herein disclosed in which at least one base station transceiver and terminal transceivers communicate by employing a plurality of predetermined radio frequency channels and in which method a maximum value is determined for the amount of interference caused to adjacent frequency channels by the transmitter frequency channel.
  • the invention is characterized in that different maximum values are determined for different radio frequency channels.
  • the invention also relates to a radio system which comprises a plurality of transceivers that are arranged to intercommunicate by employing a plurality of predetermined frequency channels and in which radio system a maximum value is determined for the amount of interference caused to adjacent frequency channels by the transmitter.
  • the system of the invention is characterized in that the transceivers of the system are arranged to transmit on different frequency channels using different maximum values of adjacent channel interference.
  • the invention is based on the observation that, in radio systems, there are in general frequency channels whose tolerance of interference is different. For instance, the outermost frequency channels of a frequency range allocated to a system may have stricter interference requirements than the channels in the centre of the range. By means of the invention, requirements as strict as necessary can be set to the outer channels, while higher adjacent channel interference is allowed to the centre channels. This has an advantage that the centre channels may employ more nonlinear amplifiers whose power consumption is lower, on the average.
  • the maximum interference limits to different frequency channels can be set at the planning stage of the system, whereby they are fixed values that are not varied.
  • the interference limits can also be changed, for instance, in connection with network planning modifications.
  • the values of interference limits can be changed dynamically by using, for instance, the traffic load of network channels as an adjustment criterion.
  • a base station is arranged to signal information to a terminal on the maximum value of interference allowed on the terminal frequency channel.
  • Information on the maximum interference level can be transmitted to the terminal every time a call is established. This is particularly applicable to the embodiment in which the values are varied dynamically. Another advantage is that the terminal need not keep the values of different channels in the memory all the time.
  • information on the maximum interference level can be transmitted to the terminal every time the terminal registers in the network. This is advantageous particularly in cases where the values do not constantly vary.
  • adjacent channel interference caused by transmitters is controlled by limiting the transmitter's maximum power.
  • adjacent channel interference caused by transmitters is controlled by adjusting the linearity of transmitters by means of biasing.
  • adjacent channel interference caused by transmitters is controlled by predistorting transmitters.
  • Figure 1 illustrates one digital data transmission system, to which a solution of the invention can be applied. It refers to a part in a cellular radio system which comprises a base station 100 that communicates 102 to 106 bidirectionally with subscriber terminals 108 to 112. The base station further communicates with a base station controller 114 which relays terminal connections elsewhere in the network.
  • the exemplifying digital data transmission system is a cellular radio system, and hereinafter the invention is described as applied to the cellular radio system, however, without restricting thereto in any way, as would be readily appreciated by a person skilled in the art. The invention is also applicable to other systems.
  • Figure 2 exemplifies one frequency channel of the radio system.
  • the frequency channel may be either broad or narrow.
  • the solution of the invention can be applied to systems employing both types of frequency channels.
  • the invention is applicable to broadband systems.
  • narrowband systems on one frequency channel, there is in general one traffic channel, onto which a plurality of traffic channels are possibly time-multiplexed.
  • a plurality of traffic channels can be transmitted simultaneously, multiplexed by coding, for instance.
  • GSM which employs TDMA, i.e. time-multiplexed frequency channels, can be given as an example of narrowband systems.
  • Systems utilizing CDMA, i.e. code division multiple access can be given as an example of broadband systems. Also combinations of these two are possible.
  • a specific width 200 is allocated to a frequency channel.
  • the transmitted signal spreads onto wider frequency bands because of sidebands 202, 204 which form on the edges.
  • the frequency channels have to be placed adjacently, and thus the sidebands cause interference to adjacent frequency channels.
  • the sideband power is often designated as ACP (Adjacent Channel leakage Power) and it is determined by comparing the transmission power of a specific frequency channel 200 with the power leaking to the adjacent channel and the difference 206 between these is a relative ACP. Both powers can be measured with a similar, channel-wide filter.
  • Figure 3 illustrates an example of the frequency channels of one system.
  • a specific range 300 of the frequency spectrum is allocated to the system.
  • the allocated range comprises a plurality of frequency channels 1, 2, .., N, which are placed adjacently so that the sidebands of adjacent channels overlap.
  • On both sides of the range allocated to the system there may be frequency ranges 302, 304 allocated to other systems.
  • the sidebands 306, 308 of the outermost channels 1 and N of the system extend outside the frequency range allocated to the system. In order that interference would not occur, the allowed interference level needs to be determined sufficiently low.
  • Adjacent systems may have connections that are sensitive to interference, and consequently a situation may arise, in which the maximum value of the adjacent channel interference allowed to the whole system needs to be determined low because of the outermost channels, even though the inner channels of the system could manage with more permissive values. This drawback is avoided in the solution of the invention, since the maximum value of adjacent channel interference can be determined channel-specifically.
  • the maximum value for adjacent channel interference is determined for each channel at the planning stage of the system. At that stage, comprehensive computer simulations can be carried out by using various power values as parameters, and acceptable values for each channel can be obtained experimentally. In simulations, both the channels of the system concerned and the channels of systems employing adjacent frequency channels can be considered. Thus, in the situation of Figure 3, stricter limits to adjacent channel interference can be determined for the channels 1 and N than for other channels.
  • the maximum value of adjacent channel interference is determined for each channel dynamically.
  • a base station monitors traffic loads on various frequency channels and passes the information to a base station controller. On the basis of the traffic loads on various channels the base station controller may infer an acceptable interference level for each channel. The less traffic on the frequency channel, the more interference from the neighbouring channels it tolerates, and correspondingly, when the traffic increases, the capability to tolerate interference decreases. For instance, if the system detects that there is only slightly traffic on the channels 3 and 5 of Figure 3, the transmitters on the channel 4 can be allowed to transmit with higher adjacent channel interference levels. In addition to the monitoring of traffic load, also other suitable criteria can be applied to the determination of interference level.
  • Typical ACP values used in the cellular radio system may be, for instance, 30 dBc in the centre of the frequency range and 38 dBc on the channels 1 and N as applied to the example of Figure 3. Naturally, these values are given by way of example only.
  • Figure 4 illustrates frequency channel allocation in a system which comprises both micro and macro cells.
  • the horizontal axis 400 represents frequency and the vertical axis 402 represents transmission power.
  • the macro cell frequency channels using higher transmission power are placed in the centre 404 of the frequency range and the micro cell frequency channels using lower transmission power are placed on the edges 406, 408 of the frequency range.
  • maximum values of adjacent channel interference can be set in such a way that the value for the macro cell frequency channels 404 differ from that of the micro cell frequency channels 406, 408.
  • Figure 5a illustrates another example of the frequency channels of one system.
  • a specific range 300 of the frequency spectrum is allocated to the system.
  • the allocated range comprises a plurality of frequency channels 1, 2, .., N, which are placed adjacently so that the sidebands of the adjacent channels overlap.
  • the system may have frequency channels of different types, such as broadband and narrowband channels for different purposes.
  • narrowband frequency channels 500 have been allocated in the centre of the frequency range.
  • Figure 5b illustrates an example of the frequency channels of one system.
  • a specific range 300 of the frequency spectrum is allocated to the system.
  • the allocated range comprises a plurality of frequency channels 1, 2, .., N, which are placed adjacently so that the sidebands of the adjacent channels overlap.
  • Separate frequency channels 504, 506 of the system frequency range are allocated to different operators. Interference between operators can be reduced by limiting the adjacent channel interference of the frequency channels 3 and 4 to a lower level than in other parts of the frequency range.
  • a base station controller when applying the invention to the cellular radio network a base station controller maintains information on the allowed adjacent channel interference levels of different frequency channels.
  • the base station is arranged to signal the information for the terminal on the maximum value of adjacent channel interference allowed on the frequency channel employed by the terminal.
  • the information on the maximum interference level can be conveyed to the terminal in a variety of ways. For instance, the information can be conveyed every time a call is established, in connection with signalling. For instance, in GSM-based radio systems, the information can be included in a System Information message of the BCCH channel.
  • the base station may also signal information to the terminal on the maximum value of adjacent channel interference allowed on the terminal frequency channel while the terminal is performing a handover onto a new frequency channel.
  • the base station may also pass the information on the maximum value of interference allowed on each frequency channel every time the terminal registers in the network. This takes place when a terminal that has been switched off is switched on.
  • the base station may signal information to the terminal on the maximum value of interference allowed on each frequency channel, when the terminal registers in the network after a network changeover.
  • the power spreading outside the desired channel mainly results from the nonlinearity of the terminal amplifier. So one way to control the amount of interfering power is to control the amplifier linearity. This can be implemented by adjusting the amplifier biasing. This will be described in greater detail later on in the text.
  • Another method is to predistort a signal to be transmitted prior to the terminal amplifier to the effect that the predistortion compensates the nonlinearity of the terminal amplifier. This will also be described in greater detail later on in the text.
  • a third method is to control the amount of the transmitter's maximum transmission power.
  • Figure 6 shows the amplifiers output power as a function of input power.
  • the horizontal axis 600 represents power at the input of the amplifier and the vertical axis 602 represents power at the output of the amplifier.
  • the straight line 604 represents an ideal amplifier which is completely linear. The output power is thus directly dependent on the input power.
  • the graph 606 illustrates the amplifier linearity in practice. As the figure shows, the amplifier remains within the linear area at the lowest values of transmission power, but it is most non-linear at high power levels, i.e. if the transmission power grows, the nonlinearity grows as well. This is due to the amplifier compression.
  • FIG 7 shows an example of two frequency channels of a radio system and the distribution of the transmitter's transmission power onto the channel.
  • the horizontal axis 700 represents frequency and the vertical axis 702 represents power at the amplifier output.
  • the left graph 704 illustrates a case in which the transmitter has a given maximum power P1, and the relative ACP has a given value A1.
  • the value of the relative APC also changes to value A2, so that A1 ⁇ A2.
  • the transmitter is a subscriber terminal when the invention is applied to a cellular radio system, but in within the basic idea of the invention, the transmitter may also be a base station transmitter.
